Brother Dao Took the Entertainment Industry by Storm, Fans Beg Me Not to Kill Anymore

Chapter 999: Reporter Zhou’s Sudden Visit

If "Time Standoff" had a strong start and a meteoric rise at the box office, then "Blackbird" had a slow start but a strong finish. After its release, word-of-mouth boosted the box office, attracting many casual viewers, and the box office growth far exceeded many people's expectations.

Even Xiao He himself was somewhat surprised.

What he didn't expect was that after the movie was released, another unexpected person contacted him.

-

Shanghai Stock Exchange, Linghui Entertainment.

It was now March, and Xiao He and his team finally stopped their month-long journey and returned to Shanghai to resume their normal work routine.

Xiao He naturally stopped running around to meet celebrities and instead went between Linghui Entertainment and Heguang Technology to handle the work that had piled up on his hands as the boss.

So on this day, Xiao He happened to run into the reporters who had been waiting for him outside Linghui Entertainment Company since early morning.

"Zhou Junhao?"

When Xiao He first saw him, he thought it was another paparazzi trying to take pictures, but when he looked at him more closely, he realized that the person looked familiar.

It was Zhou Junhao, a journalist with whom he had a fairly good relationship.

"Brother Xiao!"

Zhou Junhao, who had been waiting for a long time, saw Xiao He arrive and immediately shouted with great joy. He then rushed to Xiao He and greeted him enthusiastically, "You're finally here! I knew you would definitely come to work as usual today!"

"Why didn't you contact me beforehand before coming to see me?" Xiao He was somewhat surprised. "Have you been waiting for a long time? Is there something you need? Just come to my office and we'll talk!"

"Hehe, sorry, I came uninvited. But I don't know how to talk about this over the phone, so I thought it would be clearer if I came to see Brother Xiao in person."

Zhou Junhao scratched his head, "I heard that Brother Xiao has been in Shanghai recently, so I didn't think much of it and just came to try my luck. I didn't expect to run into him today."

"Hmm? I see..."

Xiao He was surprised that Zhou Junhao actually had something to say to him. He went through the recent events in his mind but couldn't find anything that would make a reporter come all the way here. So, he became a little curious and chatted casually with Zhou Junhao while leading his people toward his office.

At this time, Linghui Entertainment was no longer the small company that only owned a large single-story office building. It had gradually expanded into a large company, and even the door signs and entrances were much more impressive. The large blank display walls in the corridors that used to showcase the company's achievements were gradually filled with the achievements of the company's artists. Among them were some of the profitable projects invested in by Linghui Entertainment, as well as the film crew work that it had contracted with them.

Even the number of people coming and going in the hall was many times greater than before. When they saw Xiao He bringing Zhou Junhao in, they were not very surprised. They just smiled and nodded to Xiao He from a distance, and Xiao He returned their warm smiles.

As for the mecha model from "Time and Space Standoff" in the central hall, it has now been replaced with another one. Since cooperating with Boss Huang, Xiao He had to buy a separate warehouse to store the mecha models that Boss Huang gave him. In the end, because there were too many and they were being updated generation by generation, Xiao He simply changed the model every once in a while, generously preparing to show off each mecha model to his employees.

As an aside, it was because of this situation that Linghui Entertainment Company would change the boss's mecha model every now and then to show off, which was posted online and sparked a lot of "hatred of the rich," and even made it to the top of the trending searches.

Although this internal leak wasn't a big deal, and many people even remarked on Linghui Entertainment's work environment and positive atmosphere, entertainment companies are actually very wary of such things. Therefore, Lin Cheng was furious about it and took the opportunity to clean up some of the shady characters that had been inadvertently recruited during the company's rapid expansion.

As a result, Xiao He could clearly feel that his employees had more respect for him when he returned this time, and he could walk into the office area without being stared at. Even the work atmosphere and efficiency had improved a lot.

Xiao He was very satisfied with Lin Cheng's work in this regard.

This was Zhou Junhao's first time visiting an entertainment company like this, and he was quite curious, so he couldn't help but look around.

But in reality, most companies have similar environments and layouts, and Zhou Junhao looked for a long time but couldn't find anything special—except for that huge mecha model.

then--

"Brother Xiao, can I take a picture of it when it comes out later?"

Zhou Junhao was instantly drawn to the model.

He's already watched "Time Wars" three times, which shows he's quite obsessed with and fond of the mecha.

Xiao He glanced back at the model, then pointed to the other side of the lounge and said to Zhou Junhao, "When you're done with your business, you can pick out any set from the display case in that lounge before you leave."

Zhou Junhao: "!!! Really?"

Although I haven't seen the lounge there, according to previously leaked insider information, there is a whole wall of models in the lounge of Linghui Entertainment Company!

Each one is incredibly valuable!

"real."

Xiao He nodded, then led Zhou Junhao into his office.

"Ahem, okay, thank you, Brother Xiao!"

Zhou Junhao suppressed the upward curve of his lips, but fortunately he remembered the main purpose of his visit to Brother Xiao, so he forced his lips down and made his expression slightly serious.

After the two sat down together, their assistant, Xiao Chen, came in and poured them a cup of tea.

"Okay, what is it?"

Xiao He took a sip of his tea and looked at the person in front of him.

"Well, actually—actually, I'm here to help submit the article!"

Zhou Junhao mustered his courage, took a script out of his bag, and handed it to Xiao He in a flash.

“I know that Linghui Entertainment has been recruiting outstanding screenwriters recently and is also collecting scripts of particularly high quality, so I would like to help submit a script to try my luck.”

Hearing Zhou Junhao's words, Xiao He was genuinely surprised this time.

Linghui Entertainment is indeed recruiting excellent screenwriters, but to be more precise, they are currently building a better production team. Furthermore, as Xiao He's future work focus shifts, they may need more actors to serve as the future face of Linghui Entertainment, rather than having Xiao He and Shu Han always in the spotlight.

Therefore, Linghui Entertainment is currently lacking in all kinds of talent.

However, Xiao He put down his teacup, becoming more curious.

Zhou Junhao would never take advantage of knowing him to help others with their connections.

And the script that Zhou Junhao would proactively hand over—

Taking the script from Zhou Junhao, Xiao He didn't look at anything else, but first glanced at the screenwriter's name:

Tong Junhui.

Sure enough, it was him.
